Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.

They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

More updates TK.

likewise, and thank you for having me!

"Understanding the current plight of trans people requires an understanding of all the ways our society tries to prematurely end our lives... cis allies in the audience, if you remember one thing from tonight, let it be this: we need your help."

for Trans Day of Remembrance, i gave a call to action

a very good question! to me, this means workers collectively make decisions regarding day-to-day workplace operations. i think this should be paired with a democratic political system: universal suffrage including noncitizens, proportional representation, no senate/supreme court/president, etc

some definitional questions here but i think i can generously call myself 4/4

workers should democratically control the means of production and the halls of political power

Incredible feeling when 20 years of hating pays off

Oh I love it when multi billion dollar companies spend millions trying to market existing products to us in a way that tries to trick us into thinking they're novel / necessary when they aren't instead of paying their workers a living wage! It's my favorite thing!

i think it’s, like, a chocolate slushie, but i am not entirely sure. very much extra marketing

solidarity forever with @sbworkersunited.org, no contract no coffee, and also:

we need to do something as a society about the scourge of “frozen hot chocolate”

#FreeEllen!

chart of polls showing Labor losing support since this interview was published

“Starmer actually took the party to the center, which was the right longer-term choice.” oh yeah???

thinking about this interview from 2024 of incredibly smug Labour strategists telling Democrats to abandon immigrants and move to the center

we’ve had this fight in Cambridge, too—as long as we continue to collaborate with federal cops through BRIC or private surveillance contractors, we will be putting our neighbors at risk of ICE abductions

IT Workers at CAMBA, Inc. On Strike IT workers at CAMBA, Inc. are on strike to demand fair wages, dignity, and respect for the vital work they do.

On November 5, workers were forced to walk out after CAMBA rejected modest, common-sense proposals: living wages for administrative assistants, annual cost-of-living increases, and a fair multi-year contract.

sounds to me like they could afford to pay more!

The Trump administration threatened the health of millions by cutting off SNAP benefits — and now it's trying to fire a USDA federal worker, Ellen Mei, who spoke out publicly on behalf of the Americans she serves

What ever happened to free speech in America?

“the Vatican, which rarely intervenes in climate negotiations, called for a reference to ‘sex’ rather than ‘gender’”

okay i’m gonna need a moratorium on claims to this being a “woke pope”

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

okay folks let’s not cheer for fox news host laura ingraham criticizing trump being an insufficient economic nationalist

if @dreadfulposts.bsky.social ever successfully convinces me to run for city council it’ll be on a pro-pigeon platform

the feeling is mutual, i am extremely pro-pigeon

i support it

disgraceful from MA Dems

Moulton's bailed on MA-06 for a senate run, but his original opponent who scared him out is still there and worthy of your support.
